Costa Rica's prime attraction is its nature. Considered one of the most bio-diverse regions in the world, you could find yourself coming face-to-face with toucans, erupting volcanoes, lumbering sloth, chattering monkeys, and nesting turtles. Costa Ricans are well aware of this great national treasure and almost 25% of the country is protected in ecological preserves. A visit to Costa Rica lets you meander through the natural canals of the Tortuguero National Park, sheltered by the rainforest canopy, while you view turtles, protected crocodiles, manatees and otters. Arenal Volcano, active since 1968, offers curative hot mineral springs and spectacular views. Hike the cloud forest, view the colorful hummingbird gallery, and "skywalk" on exotic hanging bridges of the Monteverde Preserve. The adventurer can raft the wild and scenic Pacuare River, water toboggan, or ride horseback through magnificent, undeveloped terrain. With a pleasant year-round temperature and a peaceful, friendly lifestyle, Costa Rica extends a warm bienvenida!
